Sure enough, both Bats and Rhinoceros have scrotums, and Elephants don't.
This commercial came out 20 years ago. Maybe even earlier. It used to be all over ebaums world and forums. It simply will not die, and I am happy to see it.
Mantisflies and mantises aren't actually very closely related.
Is that real?
Snakes are actually just lizards
But legless lizards are not snakes.
Low IQ take:
>Whales are fish
Average IQ take:
>Whales are mammals
High IQ take:
>Whales are fish
Transcendent IQ take:
>Is there a common ancestor of whales and sharks, and if so, how did one become a mammal and the other a fish?
Over 70% of horses will look like this by 2030 thanks to pollution
>EVERYTHING WILL BE UNDERWATER BY 2030, BUY MY SUBMARINE GOY
Coconut crab is not a crab
King cobra is not a cobra
Red and giant panda are not (closely) related.
This is a sea snake
i can sea that.
humans are hybrids of chimps and pigs
>this is what ev*lutionists ACTUALLY believe
God used a chimp and a pig to make Adam.
Evidence? Sounds like a big steaming load of fresh bullshit
Do you mean evidence that it's accepted by the scientific community or do you need every single detail?
Either? Something showing its true
Look at the pic then. To elaborate, elephants are in this clade:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethytheria
Rhinos and bats are in this clade:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrotifera
>Scrotifera
>The name comes from the word scrotum, a pouch in which the testes permanently reside in the adult male. All members of the group have a postpenile scrotum, often prominently displayed, except for some aquatic forms and pangolin (which has the testes just below the skin). It appears to be an ancestral character for this group, yet other orders generally lack this as an ancestral feature, with the probable exception of Primates.
elephant closet relative are these little fellas
What's it about mammals that makes them evolve so fast?
I'd always been told that it was simply their warm-bloodedness causing great adaptivity. That makes sense I guess, but it doesn't really explain the speed of mammal evolution?
They don't actually evolve that fast compared to other animal groups. Squamates and birds are both way more species rich than mammals. Let's not bring bony fish and especially not arthropods into the conversation.
The number of species is a gay metric. There are 20 thousand ant species, they all look the same. "Hurr durr we're different because we can't reproduce with the other species" frick off, stupid ant.
Mammals have very similar structures of bones and innards. They don't even need to come up with new genes, they just shift a few sliders and change their shape.
Personally I think periods of harsh environmental conditions which reduce population numbers are the main drivers behind change. Inbreeding of species with lower chromosome numbers unleashes some fricked up shapes and mutations.
they didn't. mammals were stuck in nocturnal vermin MMR hell from the triassic to the cretaceous after the therapsids, our ancestors, got heavily BTFO'd in the P-T extinction. There was an explosion in evolution to fill niches left by the dinosaurs dying out.
I'm mostly vegetarian but I have no issues with eating birds, every nugget i eat is an act of ancestral vengeance against the archosaurs.
Very true. We were under the cruel rule of the reptile/avian for millions of years. Humiliated. Reduced to nothing. We need to assert our dominance while we’re still at the top.
>while we're still on top
Heh
The next top will still be us. Mammals will go extinct, but not by surprise. Unlike most animals, we've chosen our successor, and it is still us, because we need not be mammals to be ourselves.
Some people won't be too happy but this was 100% intentional.
No, it's not AI, it's vampires hahahaha AI is just an autocomplete algorithm it isn't any more capable of creativity than the human brain I mean a dumb one
hail colonel sanders
You’re just seeing the tips of a heavily pruned tree.
Birds suck at being prunes
You're more closely related to a bird than a lizard is to a salamander.
None of those are related to each other.
Evolution doesn't real.
>bill nye the science guy
they arent sending their best. this is how much of a joke you are to them

>André Rieu the classical music guy.
It's more like saying Katy Perry "the Classical Music Guy" seeing as Bill Nye is (barely) an engineer by education (i.e. a street shitter in most cases)
Viper the classical music guy
Odd throwback.
Birds are actually DINOSAURS
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!????
>birds are reptiles
>termites are wienerroaches
>insects are shrimp
>birds are reptiles
Yes.
>termites are wienerroaches
Termites are Blattoidea.
>insects are shrimp
Anything can be a shrimp.
can I be a shrimp?
You can be a shrimp for me, anon.
thank you
Can you fry rice?
real talk? No.
Always mess it up either too greasy or I frick up the extra ingredients.
>Blattoidea
Aka wienerroaches
Phylogeny is nothing but lies straight from the serpent's mouth.
Phylogeny fact: serpents evolved speech even though they're more closely related to iguanas than to humans
Sneed
whales have more right to be considered fish than sharks
What??? Explain
Whales are bony fishes and sharks are cartilaginous fishes, but I'm not sure you could say one is more fishy than the other.
mammary glands and hair.
?
Sharks split off earlier, though I don't know enough about phylogeny to know whether that anon is actually correct. By the same logic, we have more right to be called fish than sharks.
All placental mammals are closer related to eachother than crocodiles are to alligators
As in how far back did they split, right?
This raises an interesting question. Does it matter how long animals live? Imagine if an animal split off 1 billion years ago, but lives to be 1 billion years old.
You're a moron.
Holy shit, I thought elephants were ungulates or at least laurasiatherians.
I also thought sirenians were pinnipeds, I'm always forgetting about afrotherians.
It is my learned opinion (cold, hard fact for (You)), that hyenas are merely dog-shaped cats.
what is it about group hunting that makes faces longer?
They can point better in lowlight?
Arent they more like dog shaped weasels?
